Sunday, March 1, 2009 6:00pm - 8:00pm Spud's Pizza (parlor meeting room) 3290 Adeline St (~3 blocks north of Ashby BART) Berkeley, CA This is the second meeting of a group of enthusiastic and talented community activists (40 strong so far) who are starting a local currency and/or bartering network in order to facilitate a more just and sustainable local economy. Give a holler if you need help with getting to the meeting. The meetings will likely alternate between SF and East Bay biweekly.

Contact Heather at madredecleo [at] yahoo.com for more info. Reasons for developing a local means of exchange: -the collapsing economy and the associated rise of poverty -better pay equity and fuller employment -development of stronger community relations -more environmentally sound production of goods and reduced energy use for distribution -less money going to the government's wars -supports local workers and withdraws support for exploitation of workers abroad -to enjoy life more, less time working at a desk job and more time gardening, taking care of family, etc. -reflection of community values in and community control over economic system -greater self and community sufficiency as peak oil becomes a challenge... |
